I would give them no stars if I could. We came to eat here after a long day and our waitress took out drink orders. 10 minutes later we finally got our drinks (water and ice tea) and she took our orders. For the next 40 minutes no one brought us food, our waitress did not check on us (40 minutes!!!), and even went as far as to avoid our table and eye contact when we tried to ask her what was holding up our food. We are a really friendly family so this was kind of ridiculous. As mentioned we were tired, so we waited awhile with no complaints, but after her looking at us and walking away when we called her the third time, we got up ready to leave. She tried to blame the kitchen and the busy night (only half the restaurant was full) but the fact is she avoided us purposely for 40 minutes, didn't check drinks, anything... I would have respected it more had she come and said there was a problem. read more

Decent food, Friendly staff (ha!) but SLOW. We have eaten at this Friendlys before, as it is half way between us and my family, so a good place to meet for a meal in one of our favorite towns. We never had problems before but we went in yesterday and the service was ridiculously slow. We did have a large party (10) but the place was only half full, so there is no way it should have taken 2.5 hours to get out of there. Even for a party of 10, two and a half hours is ridiculous. So here's my thought...if you are not in a hurry this place is fine. Decent food (or what you would expect anyhow), nice people, including the manager, but if you are looking for a place to eat between tourist attractions and don't want to be forever, you might want to find another place. Ps: if you have kids, go on Thursday night...the balloon blower is AMAZING. read more

The food was okay, nothing special. It wasn't busy at all, only a few tables here and there but we got stuck in the alcove with a large group of teens. The noise was so bad, due to the acoustics in that little area, that we got the rest of our meal to go. Our waitress was nice, but usually on the other side of the restaurant where other tables were. We were the only ones placed by the loud party and it was probably due to the fact we had a wheelchair. Because of that I won't go back here. read more

Refused sitting due to 1 person not having a mask to literally just walk to a table and take the mask off. Friendlys just lost 4 customers and we will not be returning . On top of that the host was very rude about the whole situation. read more

This place is a local hangout. Food was ok but this place is better known for its ice cream desserts. This place is ok. read more

Friendly's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

After a horrible experience at 2 other local restaurants, we stopped at Friendly's. Even though they were closing in 15 minutes, they allowed us to order for take out without any hesitation or attitude. The young lady who helped us (I think her name was Lori or Laura?) was WONDERFUL! She was so sweet and definitely helped to improve my mood. This is my first trip to Gettysburg and after my experience tonight, we will definitely be coming back any time we visit! read more

I don't know what reviewer A L.'s problem was and the fact she assumed about not being properly served because she's in an interracial relationship? Just for the record: I'm WHITE with an ASIAN spouse and we were both treated properly at this establishment by a BLACK server. Race has NOTHING to do with service from this place. The regular food is ok, but there are better places to dine. Friendly's ice cream is awesome- go there for the dessert. I usually go there or Bruster's down on 116 whenever I visit my parents. I went tonight to support a neighbor's HS soccer team and have no complaints about the service. So no, it has nothing to do with race or if you are in an interracial relationship. Just sayin'! read more

I am a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I have been in The Friendly's in Gettysburg Pennsylvania a few times when going to Gettysburg Pennsylvania I have done radio Messages with my Ministry in Gettysburg sharing the need to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior as Romans 10:13 tells us Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved I also drive around the Battlefield at Gettysburg and I stop at Friendly's for Milkshakes I really enjoy stopping there______God bless you all! read more

Their service was sad. There were barely any people there, yet it took them 10+ minutes to seat us. When we got to our table, it was dirty. The waitresses were barely attentive and honestly gave a rude vibe. Our icecream came to us melted. Would not go again. read more

We had breakfast at Friendly's on memorial day morning. And excellent breakfast! One of the best omelettes I have ever had. Service was great atmosphere was wonderful and the people are very sociable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone coming to the battlefields for the day. read more

My wife and I were in Gettysburg to see the sights and decided to try Friendly's. We got a very basic lunch of a quarter pound burger for my wife and a Philly cheese steak sandwich for me. My wife said it was the worst hamburger she'd ever had. They claimed it was a quarter pound. There is NO WAY. I occasionally get the mini burgers at Wendy's. That is exactly what the Friendly's patty looked like, only burnt. My Phily steak had lots of bread and very little dry greasy meat. The fact that it took 15 to 20 minutes to get our very disappointing food just added to the insult. This is my first time I've ever been to a Friendly's. It will definitely be my last. read more

This is the second time we have tried to use door dash with this restaurant and both times have had to go pick it up ourselves. I know that is not the restaurants fault. The first time it had been an hour from the time of the order and the person that answered the phone agreed to remake our order. The second time the employees were rude on the phone and rude in person. I asked how long our food had been sitting there and she said about 40 minutes, but it's been under the warmer. I didn't pay for food under the warmer. I paid for food to be delivered. If the two businesses can't work well together then maybe they should not offer door dash. read more

Delish! After a long day of seeing Gettysburg, I NEEDED a bite to eat. My options were slim. But Friendly's caught my eye. I went in with 7 other friends and took a seat right away. My eye goes on the menus scanning for something that sounded good. The tomato basil soup and grilled cheese was the one. And it was fabulous! We also got mozzarella sticks for the table and they were great. I totally recommend. read more

After waiting a few minutes to be seated, not because they were full but because the wait staff didn't seem to be around, we finally got seated. Our waiter must have been having a bad day because he didn't seem friendly at all. Just seemed like he had better things to do. Food was just OK but the ice cream sundae my wife and I shared was great. I will probably not go back when I visit Gettysburg again. If we do decide to try and go back again, hopefully we don't get the same waiter. read more

Do not eat here. The kitchen is very slow. A simple burger and chicken wrap took an hour to come out. And this was a garden variety weekday lunchtime when the restaurant was not busy at all. To make matters worse, the food was extremely mediocre with an helpful wait staff. Avoid at all costs. read more

Took a trip to Gettysburg from NYC, and found this GEM right in the middle of the civil war battle fields! Friendly staff and great quality fresh local breakfast food. Seems like a stretch for a food chain, but no diner in NYC can compare. Very satisfied! read more

Friendly's - Lumberjack $7 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

This place has zero care for race, ethnicity, or members of LGBT Soldiers. I was out right disrespected by the manager and staff here. The ticket time was 90 mins. Then they charge half my troops for their food. This place needs a new staff immediately. Soldiers that have served their country didn't get the respect that was deserved let alone the regulate patrons. Horrible service! read more

8/30/2019 What a surprise! The burgers were extremely tasty and presented well. Our server was very nice. The ice cream was out of this world delicious. Will visit again. I would have given 5 stars if the restroom had been cleaner. One stall was closed and the other had no paper. read more

I stopped at this Friendly's by myself tonight at 7pm. I waited at the Hostess Stand for about 15-20 minutes before anyone acknowledge me. The waitress took my name and said it would be 30 minutes and I stood off on the side and waited. The lobby was full. She took the group of five people's name behind me told them it would be a 40 minute wait, but walked them in front of me and seated them. The next group of four people got their name put on the list she told them it'd be a 45 min wait walked them right in front of me and seated them.she left the next two couples standing a long time one of the women called into the kitchen she came out talked to them and they started leaving. On the way out they shared with me that after talking to her I wasn't going to be waited on there. now, I think discrimination is at play here. When I left 9-10 other people walked out behind me. I drove to the Perkins across town to eat and was treated very nicely. I'm afraid Friendlys is going to have some trouble if their employees are able to pick and choose who they'll let allow eat at their restaurants. I hope this is not going on here. read more

Waited close to 10 min with two hungry kids. Nobody came to take our order and no server was in the dining room to ask if anyone was going to. Got up to leave and saw the entire staff in the kitchen chatting away. Informed the manage and she just said thanks for letting me know. Didn't make an effort to ask us to stay and improve our experience. Pathetic, only waited as long as we did because my kids were hungry and wanted Friendly's. read more

We were a party of four,got seated immediately and drink orders were taken and served directly after.Food was plentiful and delicious and arrived after about a ten minute wait.Our server was in training so he was constantly stopping in and checking on us would definitely recommend and will definitely try again next time I'm out this way read more

Eat here frequently. Good food, but terrible service today. We had to prompt waitress, she wasn't even the one to serve us; dirty dishes were not removed before dessert served; no apologies made. Will think twice before coming back. read more

Because the Friendly's in Ohio have all closed, my mother was thrilled that this Gettysburg's location was still open! The food was good, ice cream was great, our server Carrie was awesome. My biggest problem was another server that continued to sing Rosanne Barr- style to the music that was playing in the restaurant. She'd leave the eating area (barely) then SCREAM the lyrics to the current song. It was beyond annoying... There wasn't a recognizable manager on duty to tell as the servers were seating people and cashing people out. So my ears needed to bleed all the way through dessert because she wouldn't shut up! Otherwise it was great to be able to have a Fribble again!! read more

When your family waits at the hostess stand for over 10 minutes to be seated when the restaurant and the staff just ignores you it is time to take your business elsewhere. Incredibly rude. We went to Dairy Queen instead where they treat you right. read more

I was skeptical at first but really pleased at the service and quality of food. This restaurant was perfect for my family of four (including two young boys) after a long driving tour of the battle grounds. As opposed to some of these other snooty reviews---I mean seriously people, it's a Friendly's, don't expect a vegan menu with white glove service---We left full and happy:-) read more

9/2/2013 The decor is diner, 50's or 60's. Many kids, families, old people, teens, local and tourist, The food is basic and decent. The price is good. The service was friendly, a bit slow, but adequate. We didn't have any of the ice cream that Friendly's is known for. The fish and chips I had were good, but nothing special. I could have used a drink refill, but it wasn't until near the end of the meal that I was offered one. read more

Sort of a disappointment. The service was fine. I came here for breakfast with my mom and dad who are visiting from out of town and we are touring the Gettysburg area. We ordered the Big Two breakfast and let me tell you... That was barely one egg (and it was listed as extra large eggs). The two strips of bacon were thin and tiny. The breakfast potatoes are delicious but they give you such a small portion for $2.79, you could fit the potatoes on a coaster. The music sucks and it's loud when you are trying to wake up. It's a family restaurant... Why blast party music at 9:00 am? read more

This is a great place to take the kids. Service was a bit slow today though.

Great service and delicious breakfast. Coffee is a bit weak for me, however, there's a Starbucks nearby! Server was super nice and friendly.

Food was okay nothing special. Waiter was good only problem was other patrons. People behind us in booth had a kid that was yelling in our ears and pulled my hair lots of times(not places fault be did not leave good impression). Then another couple kept talking and talking about who knows what for a good 10min while we waited. I had to finally interject to get them to let him take care of his other customers. This could have been avoided by the waiter he should have known how to get away! read more

A very good family restaurant. The food is well prepared and tasty. The staff is friendly and make you feel at home, even when you are a tourist, like my daughter and I were. It was so good that we returned there for lunch 3 of the 5 days we were in Gettysburg on our vacation. The portions were just big enough to fill you. We wish we had one out here in the Phoenix, Arizona area. read more

Order the bacon cheeseburger and fries special. My meal came out cold and sent it back. Fries came out hot but the burger came out cold with a greasy bun. Unfit to eat. Told the waiter who could careless. He seems to be in another world. He never even ask for refills on drink. Never even asked me if I wanted to talk to a manger. Totally a bad experience. read more

They successfully managed a party of 18 with 10 minutes' notice. They were courteous and organized, despite the chaos of 9 kids. Pretty cool at a busy national park. (Thank you, Nicole! Great job!) read more

SLOW service. Worst I've seen in a long time. If you're going to eat here you better pack a lunch.

TERRIBLE!!! Dining area was very dirty, the waitress took forever to wait on us and there was a Hair about 2 inches long attached to my cheese waffle fries. They did comp my meal but hair in food is so so disgusting. Choose another place. read more

Friendly's - You can see the long hair attached to the cheese of my waffle fry. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We had a great experience at this location. Service was quick and server (Clinton) was very friendly and polite. We brought our two young children in with us and he was very accommodating and patient. We will definitely be dinning here again. read more

This is my first time reviewing a restaurant on Yelp. That should speak for itself. This restaurant sucks so much a$$ that I felt it was my civic duty to society to take the time to download Yelp and write a review in order to prevent any other person from going through what my family had to experience. On Memorial Day at 10:30 am we tried to get breakfast at Friendly's before we hit the road. With only 30% of the restaurant full you would have thought we would get in and out...45 minutes later our food came out cold and at staggered times due to only having 2 cooks working and only one of them knew how to cook breakfast. Hopefully next time we visit they'll be out of business and a Denny's or some chain with competence will take its place. Do yourself a favor and just hit McDonald's next door. read more

I ate there yesterday and you can't beat their half price breakfast. We are local and they there occasionally, usually wait for a special on TV. Our good experiences certainly out weigh the bad read more

Taking waaaay too long for our food, considering all the empty tables in here. You would think on a slow Sunday night there would be better service. Seemed to be a lot of servers standing around in the kitchen area. Took almost 45 minutes to get our food. Bathroom was horribly disgusting, walked in, took one look, and walked out. First and last time eating here. read more

I cannot rate the food, only the customer service. We arrived at about 11:20 on a Monday morning, and it was nearly empty. There was one table occupied, so we knew they were open for service. Two workers were cleaning up one table when we walked in, looked up at us and resumed cleaning the table and chatting with each other. I walked over to them to ask if they were open. One of the young women answered, "Oh sorry, we thought you were staff." Huh? They'd never seen us before and thought we were their coworkers standing by the door with our coats on? After we were seated the server gave us the menus and walked away. She didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink. Sensing that this experience would have been too frustrating, we left. Perhaps our being a mixed-race couple (I'm Asian, he's white) had something to do with not receiving any service, but we didn't even want to stick around to contemplate that matter. read more
